8 years ago today...

...my father took his last breath.

He died on November 24, 2006, after a brave battle with a variety of health issues.  He was loving, loyal, generous, kind, understanding--everything a father should be. He set a great example for my sisters and me, living his life with integrity and honesty.  He was the embodiment of "a good man," and I know that the reason I was able to find such a great husband and father for my own children is because of the standard my Dad set for me.

I miss him every single day.
